Can’t wait for Rana reaction to this show

Unstablebeast

The amount of disappointment I have that dragon ball didn't win, it was literally only 44 votes behind

joey

LETS GOOOO GOATED ANIME

Jack Maltbie

Thank god it wasn’t dragon ball

Maroki R6

Congrats everyone for choosing the exact same thing they already watched, instead of something new 👍

Vicar Sol

At least it's only 64 episodes🙂

Isaac Yepez

Ik right! But it was honest race

Awakened

The amount of disappointment we all have for either that or JoJos especially as a brand new series not winning after waiting for 4+ years to build up mainstream popularity hype for SBR, and clearly being outnumbered by bots/the cult of the FMAB fandom….. “Democracy” my ass

Bryan

We'll try again Jojo fans 😢

Michael Perry

My disappointment is immeasurable

PKKite

The salt is going to be amazing here 🙏 I wanted YYH more than anything but the amount of people being disingenuous about this not being a new reaction is crazy. Q: Have these reactors seen the anime? A: No Well I guess it's a new reaction for them huh lol

Matthew Cronin

Ugh. Cuz enough people haven’t reacted to this

KingRath

Expect it’s a new crew so they haven’t watched it yet

Awakened

It’s not a new reaction for us their audience that’s the damn problem. It should not nor have ever been place of something brand new that no one has ever seen here before. Doesn’t take any “salt” to see that. If only the FMAB cult could’ve sit this one out and let us along with them see true legendary classic series like DB with this being the year of the Dragon and to commemorate the passing of Akira Toriyama or JoJos to build up mainstream popularity hype for SBR as the next installment and next big thing in entertainment media history.

Unstablebeast

Jojos would've been nice, but too few people have seen og dragon ball, even a good chunk of z fans never did. Fmab is great, and yes none of them have seen it, but I've seen enough people react to it by this point

Brakthir

Highly disappointing result and a little surprised none of you commented on the valid criticisms of including a rewatched show in the poll

William Potter

Honestly not that mad about it FMAB is great and I’m excited to see what the new group thinks

AniMangaFan

Will you guys do the OVA's too? Almost all of them were dubbed.

KIMOS

Honestly kinda happy FMAB won. I'm so behind on other reactions, having to add another new show to watch weekly was gonna stress me out lol

Gabriel Moreira

I just cant wait to see Naruto and Bleach and AoT... wow so much fun *irony*

Awakened

Don’t worry, by this position you’ll be behind on FMAB too

Jeremy Palencia

But why? They already had a crew react to it? That’s just dumb on the subscribers. We could of had something new smfh

Isaiah Cox

Wow this is ass 😭 but it’s whatever truly do not understand the need to retread old ground

Mavros

hoo boy

Rufus May

Not upset about it or a criticism, but I am curious whether most people voting for this one realized they'd already done it on the channel.

Amarok

Dang. Sad

Brakthir

Atleast they could have attempted to mix it up by reacting to it in sub

Tekno

Could've been watching Yu Yu Hakusho but nooooooo people want to rewatch a anime they reacted too already

Starksego

I guess not many ppl care for the “this new crew” reactions! which is fair since this rewatch of a series took a spot from plenty of newer show options for the whole channel to react to.

Evoke 310

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zana

please do the dub

mykanike

While I love fmab wholeheartedly, it’s pretty wild a show that’s already been uploaded on the channel was part of the poll in the first place

Charmaine

😴💤 💤

MarkyO

Didn't they already react to this?

MojoJojoGojo

DB was 13% too? What was the actual poll count ...

Rando calrissian

I'm gonna love going through this show again with a new set of eyes I love this show

Thicc Thanos

You need to do dub tbh

Awakened

They do, but they don’t care as they don’t have consideration for others, it’s all about the cult agenda.

Thicc Thanos

Besides this being reacted to so much already, my only other problem is that at one episode a week this is going to take an ETERNITY finish. I really hope they do double drops for the sake of everyone’s sanity.

Thicc Thanos

And if they do sub, at 64 episodes, 1 episode drop a week… let God have mercy on all our souls.

KIMOS

I fall behind on the reactions if I haven't seen the show/episode they're reacting to. I watched FMAB already so I'm chilling

D.j. Lachmandas

What a sad day. No one out here respecting Akira Toriyama

Starksego

The only anime that shoulda been been in this pole is honestly JOJO, YuYu, DB, and sailor moon, gundam and inuyasha! All their manga release date was in the late 1980-1999 years! You cant stick them other anime in because their 1st released mangas after 2001. yall still chose to put 2000s anime in this pole is wild because its old to yall thats like grouping gen z w millennials like they belong together.

Alex M

Lmfao people are S-A-L-T-Y🤣🤣

Starksego

Even put black clover in here like its an old anime thats just really sad when they are still ongoing current in the manga!!

bondbond53

I swear if they do DUB again I will never let this live down with how we got AoT DUB because "we didn't do it before". Equal rights please

AniMangaFan

What are you talking about. 2 different groups did AOT. One did dub the other did sub.

Awakened

So why would you want to rewatch it and not be considerate for the rest of us?

KIMOS

You can vote for multiple things at once, which I did. I had no issue with watching reactions with people who'd never seen the show so it also got a vote from me.

kage Rodgers

Little nigga you making waffles out of cornbread. Shut up with that dumb shit cause it’s valid criticisms. But then dick riders like you come along “everyone is mad so let me be the opposite”. Knowing damn well yo ass ain’t built for the heat and hate.

Ryan Asencio

No thanks. I can't believe a Fate series has yet to make a poll, but we'll re-react to a series that's already on the channel 🥱

itsRichErich

I personally voted for Yu Yu Hakusho but it is what it is

Shockzz1234

This (and the option of a HxH rewatch that was on the poll as well) should never have been on a poll. When you guys did it with AoT, it was your own decision and it didn't take up a poll winner's place. Now we have to wait a year+ to get something new again for this slot. Beyond silly imo.

Deusex1000

While I’m sad to see that JOJO didn’t win, FMAB is still a great show and I would love to see what everyone thinks of it

Merfhew

I felt the same way when we got Attack on Titan reactions for a second time (different group of eyes, but same show on the same Patreon). I was able to excuse it that time because not everyone watches anime with the original Japanese audio. This time, though, we're getting the same English dub... a second time.

Merfhew

Yes, they did. Years ago, with a different set of reactors, but yes, the Normies channel has reacted to FMAB before. Last time, it was dub, and I believe it'll be dub again this time (unless they change their minds). Don't get me wrong, the dub voices are great, but if they truly want to convince their audience that reacting to the same show twice is worthwhile, maybe mix things up?

Awakened

Fair enough although you probably should’ve taken your vote off of that once you saw it was above everything else.

Merfhew

But they did the dub last time, right? If we are paying for reactions to the same show twice (albeit with different eyes), I think the least they could do is mix things up a bit, like they did with Attack on Titan. Don't get me wrong, the DUB version of FMAB is great, but not everyone likes dubbed anime. I think the SUB version is great as well.

Chris Skalicky

I love FMAB. Even though part of them already reacted to it years ago, I mainly voted for it this time because all the other "finalist" shows were incredibly long. And personally I had no interest in many of them. So here we are. Still should be a lot of fun though!

CDS

I didn't want FMAB to win, but I also wanted JoJo to lose, so I'll try to look at the glass as half full.

AniMangaFan

I thought of something. Would you guys consider doing the 2003 version first? I know it diverges from the story but a lot of people still feel it was good on its own.

Hobbes

Shame

Merfhew

@AniManga - I believe he's saying the Normies should watch the SUB version of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood because the Normies watched DUB last time. When two different groups of the Normies watched Attack on Titan, the first group watched SUB, and the second group watched DUB. If I'm understanding correctly, he's saying the same logic should apply this time. I agree.

Erich Bomke

To be fair, there are a handful of shows where the English dub is genuinely incredible. This is one of those shows.

Merfhew

@Erich - Correct, but that doesn't make the SUB version bad. I've watched both and enjoyed both.

bondbond53

Yeah but the SUB is also incredible so if before the argument is 'let's watch this in DUB also because it's great' it should apply here as well

D.j. Lachmandas

DEMAND RESPECT FOR AKIRA TORIYAMA

Sarah C

So excited!!!

Cliff Douglas

This channel is really just bad and lazy. I mean just being honest.

Merfhew

You may disagree, but this is my opinion. When the Normies reacted to Attack on Titan twice, one group watched SUB, and the other group watched DUB. When the Normies watched FMAB a few years ago, they watched DUB, so if they watch SUB this time, sure. I think both versions are great, so it feels like a good opportunity.

Overload

I honestly feel it would likely just confuse them as the concepts and origins change drastically between the 2 series for the same characters. They’d have to go in knowing half of the series is non canon anime only content, have them then switch to FMAB, have them having to effectively rewatch certain sections of the story while also ruining some reveals and twists. Particularly when you consider the people who will be watching this show (mainly Pat) this would honestly just make the watching of either show both convoluted and potentially disastrous. FMA works as a series if you have never seen FMAB and do not intend to watch it for a decent period of time after you finish FMA (where you hopefully have forgotten some parts of the story so the rewatching of certain sections doesn’t feel so tedious) but back to back would be a bad choice. Plus given the poll was for FMAB and not FMA it wouldn’t really be fair to those who voted for FMAB who perhaps wouldn’t have made that same choice if it had been FMA instead.

Overload

If we account for the bonus content as potential separate episode then it’s 65 so it would be about a year and 3 months, not really an eternity as when you consider to react to Frieren (the obvious winner of the next poll) it would still take about half that time but hey to each their own I guess.

Jessica Canavan

Fruits Basket should also be included in your valid list then. The manga started in 1998.

Joshua Bynum

Let’s goooooo!! My #1!! And PLEASE DUB up! So much mor emotion, some one should solo the 2003 version for just Patreon 🥰

Victor

welp, maybe I'll see y'all in a year or so I guess 🤷‍♂️ feels like this poll was handled by AI

Overload

Where is the disrespect though? If it’s in not choosing DB then a large portion of Dragonball fans automatically disrespect Toriyama as there are fans who watched Z -present but have never read nor seen Dragonball itself out there already

Sunnie

Rewatching FMAB? Seriously? lol..

Merfhew

Wait, does this mean every show and movie previously watched by the Normies is fair game for a second reaction now? If so, I'll be curious to see the poll options going forward. 🤔

Merfhew

Did they explain their rationale for adding FMAB to the poll? Like, was this a desperately requested show? I know it won fair and square, but I'm wondering how many people actually asked for this pre-poll.

Victor

FMAB wasn't even a Discord suggestion lol, they added it themselves AFAIK (if I'm wrong someone correct me, not trying to shit on them for no reason)

itsRichErich

Can we please get a poll for re-doing this poll again? Lol #revote #do-overs

D.j. Lachmandas

Yeah if u have only watched dbz and not dragon ball. Ur spitting in his face. I’m sure he spent hard time to do oh dragon ball

Brendan Heck

You realize it was a poll right? Like people voted and it won? It was most likely added cause half the people haven’t seen it. It’s quite literally a blind reaction

Sonicluis

I swore I would leave patreon if full metal won. Check my history I’ve been here since naruto and been waiting patiently for one piece to be added to a poll. It’s been fun but it’s time for me to leave.

Brendan Heck

Yet also an insanely smart move, a blind reaction to one of the most popular anime ever? And put it up to a vote in case people would rather something else? Genius. And before you say it’s a rewatch it isn’t cause none of them have seen it

edgard

And no we get to watch Rana and pat watch episode 4. I voted just for that

KingRath

Salty is being resentful irritated or angry. People are definitely being salty in here

REY

Thank god dragon ball didn’t win lmao

Erwin Smith

Yu yu Hakusho will win one day

Merfhew

Have all the Normies watched Naruto, cause if we're doing repeat shows, I'm guessing that's a possibility now? I think it'd be pretty funny to make that a poll option next time. 😄 🤣

Eric

Probably because they know it will do the best numbers on Youtube so they wanted as much revenue as possible.

Zeno

Correct me if I'm wrong but the new FMAB reaction is not replacing any of the shows they are currently watching, so it's literally additional Patreon content. Y'all gotta chill in the comments lol

Awakened

Like I said, it’s lost all meaning since people aren’t even irritated or angry, just disappointed

Merfhew

@Elli -- Yeah, that was my initial thought, which makes me worry about the chances for other shows in future polls. If they were to add Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, or ATLA to a future poll, you know those popular moneymakers would beat everything else. It kinda feels discouraging to be asked for show requests one week, only to see an unwinnable poll against a juggernaut the next week (especially if it's a show they already have reactions for).

Beranzan

I understand that it's a new set of crew members watching but you can also see the other point of view, at the end of the day it is an anime already on the channel that will be playing instead of any one of the amazing anime in the poll that hasn't been seen on the channel and we won't get a new vote for 64 episodes of FMAB. Luckily Naruto wasn't on there or it'd be hundreds of episodes.

Overload

I’d be interested to see your take on the next poll considering no matter what other shows are added we all know Frieren will as you say be the juggernaut of that poll making all other show suggestions almost pointless

Overload

Bye 👋🏾, in fairness they did already reply to you specifically and say they would probably do One Piece after Bleach and it would never be on a poll for obvious reasons.

Overload

So out of curiosity have you/would you watch a different channels reaction to FMAB? If yes imagine if the same new crew split off from the Normies and watched FMAB on an all new channel would you watch it? If you would then just pretend it’s a new channel and suddenly that issue becomes moot. Don’t get me wrong I personally didn’t want anymore shows being repeated like with AOT but as this is a whole new slot and it is the result we ended up with I say we just get on with it and either watch or skip it. If people believe they have been wronged or are losing out then don’t watch the reaction and prove your point to them

Jessica Canavan

Yes, the Fruits Basket manga ran from 1998 - 2006 and the first anime ran from 2001 - 2002. It's known as a classic shoujo series for a reason. :)

Victor

They haven't watched Frieren so no problem there. Now if in the future they asked for suggestions and then just added Frieren in there without even clarifying that it's already on their channel, then that'd be... well this situation lmao. If reactors want to do their own thing, I'm super fine with that. But I don't know how they read the comments on that polls and went "oh well FMAB won gg maybe next time losers" At that point might as well just downgrade (or upgrade depending on how you look at it) to Youtube viewer

Tijuan

Bro same literally been a waiting for like 5-6 years and we are rewatching shows😭

Tijuan

Honestly I would at least like to know that I’m being heard seeing as I’ve been pay for this for like 6 years now😭

Brakthir

It's an anime slot. It's not an additional slot that was added like for AoT Dub. So now we have Bleach, which will take a few years and FMAB, which will take a year+

greenb3ar

We are really getting a FMAB rewatch, Kaiju, and probably Solo Leveling in a year where Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, and Dungeon Meshi aired. Someone please save the Normie's anime reactions.

Overload

And a new slot for newer anime starting in July with a 3rd anime series (likely Frieren which will take 6.5 months to watch)

greenb3ar

Far and away the shortest of the realistic options that could win was the only reason I voted for it. The last thing the Normies need is another show that last multiple years

greenb3ar

Wait until you realize just how much shorter it is than all the other options that had a chance to win. DB especially was 100% gonna lead in to Z and Super.

Merfhew

@Overload -- I'm actually not sure how Frieren will fare. I suspect that it'll probably win, but it might depend on what the other choices are. Frieren is an amazing show, and it has the power of recency bias right now, but I've come across shonen fans who think it was boring. I've even seen Frieren come in 2nd place on another reaction channel's poll (although I don't remember what it lost to). I only "sorta" follow the Normies, so I don't have the biggest feel for their average audience's taste in shows. Do you think Frieren will win in a landslide, or do you think it will depend on the other poll options?

Norrin Radd

THE!!!! GOAT!!!!

Overload

Based on the suggestions the only show that would give it a run would be Solo Leveling which is arguably a better show for reacting to given Frienren’s much slower burn or if I get my wish Ousama Ranking but I imagine Frieren would be in a similar position to what FMAB was in this poll with Solo Leveling coming in 2nd. Personally I preferred Frieren over Solo Leveling though I enjoyed both but given the loud minority in the comments arguing for shorter series Solo Leveling should actually be their choice as it’s only 12 episodes so would be done and over in half the time as Frieren and be finished before the 2nd season of Solo Leveling releases leading to a new show being picked up by October. But I’m almost certain their argument will then be something along the lines of “don’t vote for Solo Leveling as it’s another shonen” and ignore the fact that Frieren is also a shonen

Chaos T

That's a nonsensical point of view. It's also very low to use someone's death to guilt people into something.

Ivan

What's it replacing then if it's not a new slot? We have Bleach, Samurai Champloo, FMAB and Boondocks will be replaced by a new anime show.

Chaos T

Jojo fans generally being insufferable is a big reason for it not to win.

Chaos T

Nahh....it would be like watching Cowboy Beebop in sub. Some shows shouldn't be watched in Sub and FMAB is one of them.

Jagger

Comment sections from polls is the funniest s**t on the planet, especially when it involves anime. Bruh...it was voted on. I love FMAB, so I am not losing sleep. I also will not lose sleep if they don't have a DUB crew for HxH, something I do want. It's THEIR react channel, and there is an ungodly amount of anime out there. Let's take a chill pill, cuz it'll be a minute before we make rounds on all the anime with varying reactions. And One Piece is 1,000 plus episodes...that's 2 years minimum that slot is covered. So patience is a virtue.

Chaos T

FMAB is like Cowboy Beebop where it should only be watched in Dub. The story takes place in a fictionalized European setting and the dub fits the characters better. It's one of the few anime where the Dub is flat out better than the sub.

Chaos T

^that's comically arrogant and what I come to expect from Jojo fans.

Overload

2 years? They’d need to watch about 8 episodes a week to get to the current epidemic within 2 years.

Christian Callahan

Man screw yall that voted for a series they've already reacted to on the channel rather then choosing something new

Jagger

Oh I know. LOL I took into consideration they upped the ante episodes viewed. Shouldve specified better.

joe liptak

Yaaay a series you guys already reacted to😃

greenb3ar

You really just tried acting confused why people are upset that they are revisiting a show they have already watched while in the same comment mentioned how there is an ungodly amount of anime out there.

Awakened

What does this have to do with JoJos? That’s not even my favorite series.

Zeno

I get your frustration with wanting completely new content, but personally I’m looking forward to the new crew’s reaction. I think FMAB is perfect for Nikki and Pat who are still relatively new to anime. Ideally, I think they should’ve done another poll with the top 3 or 4 options (only 1 vote allowed this time) to get a more representative result.

Zeno

Nah, Bleach won’t take years to finish. They’ll be caught up with TYBW this time next year or at most next summer with the current pace. I think there’s like 2 whole filler arcs that take up a good chunk of the remaining episodes lol

Brandon

Pleasantly surprised by this outcome, I thought it was a long shot since already reacted, but I voted for it because I appreciate Nikki's energy after watching the Attack on Titan reactions. And the haters for this outcome, well not all of them reacted and maybe some of the people paying for this are excited to see what some of the other folks think about this series too.

Dale D. Ellis

So we had Dragon Ball, Sailormoon, Yu Yu Hakusho, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure & even FAIRYTAIL of all shows nd yet ppl voted for Fullmetal again??? SMDH

NiNi

I've already seen your reaction to FMAB and I wish you could have chosen a new anime but I love FMAB and wouldn't mind re-watching it again with a different cast.

Tim Ott

I'm glad it won. I definitely would have preferred YYH, DB, or Inuyasha. FMAB is one of my favorite shows though so I'm content.

Jagger

Ugh...yeah. I didn't stutter. Not confused. Sorry to disappoint. The point of a reaction channel is to react to content. If said channel has multiple people...and they react to something that another guy did...that's still a NEW reaction...whether they do that or not...the long ass list of anime will still be there. Again, patience is a virtue. There are a ton of shows these guys have reacted to that I have no desire to watch. Doesn't mean I'm going to whine and bitch about it.

Fatherlord

Reactions for steins gate, yu yu Hakusho, sailor moon, dragon ball, monster, and any Gundam series are all rare. Especially monster and Gundam. But sure, let's all vote for Fmab instead, it's not like those are a dime a dozen 😒

NiNi

I still wish Monster and Inuyasha would win the polls someday soon!

J. J.

They're rare for a reason because they do shit for views.

Awakened

Thanks for exposing yourself that you’ve never seen past part 1 if even that. I can’t wait to see you and others of your kind around in 2026 and beyond when it takes over the world.

Chaos T

We get to see new people experience a great anime for the first time which is always a good thing.

Johnny Blue

I can't wait for Naruto Dub to win next year's classic anime poll. On the couch: Marketa, Spidey, Nikki, Pat and Suraj as guide. Yes, this is sarcasm. No, this is not a poll suggestion.

Chaos T

To be fair that would kind of be a great reaction series. Pat's crazy ass takes on Naruto would be meme worthy material.

Chaos T

@Seal no you don't have to separate the fandom from the series. The reason why Jojo is a thing is because of the hype from their fans; which drives the traffic of their anime. The anime itself is utter garbage. It's reasonable to assume people who like Jojo are individuals you wouldn't want to hang out with in real life and are insufferable on every metric that measures a human as insufferable. Hopefully in 2026 people vote against the insufferableness of Jojo fans and it continues to be relegated to a niche audience that thinks it's better than it actually is. Jojo's so trash it couldn't even create its own ending song and had to rely on one of the greatest songs of the 70's for it to be hype. Even the best thing it's known for is a fraud. That wasn't Jojo's doing; it was Yes's.

Chaos T

Okay.. but you're still a hardcore jojo fan here regardless if it's your favorite series or not. Humans like you are fanatical over the second and third favorite entertainment choices as well. It's extremely arrogant for you to say someone should modify their vote and/or not vote at all while guilting them into such a thing. At its core, voting is a personal thing. No... KIMOS shouldn't have taken their vote off of anything. They voted for what they wanted to. That arrogance makes people want to be against the thing you're for.

iJashin

Honestly I hope they chop and edit the show as badly as the editor did for the Attack on Titan finale. It's only fair really.

Chaos T

@greenb3ar I similarly wondered the same thing as you when "The Normies" double dipped into AoT but the fact is they did. The precedent was set making the confusion here a bit comical. In that context, it's weird why people are mystified FMAB would be on an anime poll and also weird why more people weren't upset HxH on the poll. The people arguing against FMAB only cared about FMAB instead of HxH when it was clear FMAB would win out against the everything else. Self interests is what governs most outrage.

iJashin

Just gonna have to put together a video essay and clamor them about it until they agree to watch just like the Buffy fans did.

Bocchi In Shadow

If you want OP to be added, you cannot be mad. OP has over 1000 episodes. It would take them 20 YEARS to watch that.

Bocchi In Shadow

@Chaos T You kind of outed yourself. You said Jojo is only hype because of it's ending song which means you only seen meme clips of the ending theme. But it doesn't rely on this. It's included because the entire show is based on different music artist and songs (Some the normies could probably gush over). The reason a popular song is the ending is because the creator of Jojo handpicks the song himself and that song is usually what inspired him during the season. You would know this if you actually watched the show. Kind of sad there are others like this who just doesn't like Jojo fans. (Which is ironic since they aren't even that bad... the most you get is "that's a jojo reference" or "ora/mudas" DB was literally above with fans that swear Goku is the strongest being in existance and will argue online forever.

M.

Who's on the couch for FMAB this time do we know?

Hank yang

so I subscribed premium only for BLEACH

Rando calrissian

Democracy won people so you can all stop complaining smh

Smash Bran'Discootch

But dragon ball isn't good. It's got the nostalgia factor, sure. But the entire dragon ball franchise really isn't good.

Rando calrissian

Man screw yall who keep bitching and complaining. Fmab is a great show and seeing new people reacting to it is gonna be extremely fun whether its a new reaction channel are just a different lineup

The Cook

all the damn anime out there and we're back to fmab like this ain't on the channel already lmao just some normie shit ig

Starksego

When trump won didnt ppl tell the other side to atop complaining because democracy? If trump win again ppl still will complain.

Burntberries

They can do that after re-watch FMAB...then re-watch 2003 2 years later. (Joking)

Camille Watrigant

It baffles me, honestly. I love FMA but it's been reacted to already. They had the chance to react to something completely new, but no. People would rather watch the same content again and again and again rather than give The Normies the opportunity to react to anime like Jojo, which would be so entertaining for them and for us.

GodUsopp

booooooooooooooooooooooooo

Erin Olson

It’s a completely new cast of reactors, so I don’t really see the issue.

Erin Olson

This guys out here watching an inferior version cause he’s too cool to watch dubs 😭

Felipe Aravena

if ppl here are already complaining that they're reacting to FMAB AGAIN (albeit with a different crew) and there are HUNDREDS of reactions on yt to the dub already, why not react to the sub? the sub is brilliant. one of the main reasons ppl like reactions to the dub is because of the bloopers... and they can still watch those if they want.

Felipe Aravena

ikr? i don't understand how ppl can't comprehend why'd they put FMAB in a poll... it's only like the most popular and beloved anime ever? of course they're going to try to get those views. it's pretty understandable, maybe annoying or disappointing if you also wanted a new anime, but pretty understandable. they're doing this for the money too, it's valid. they also did a poll, not like with AoT where they just did it without asking anyone. and they did the reactions yeeeeears ago. it's a pretty smart move for new subs and such. besides, it's not like FMAB is a bad show.

Felipe Aravena

i haven't watched Jojos yet, but i agree with no.21's no. 1 simp, DB fans are worse xd... and the most insufferable anime/manga fans for me are the ones from AoT, those are unbearable... never knew an annoying Jojo fan tbh.

Martin-ESP

Yall should react X-Men 97

Felipe Aravena

that argument makes no sense. well, let them watch it in the arab dub because of ishvalans or in chinese because of Xing. oh but wait, Europeans talk in US english? i swear dub lovers find the most annoying and dumb reasons to justify the dub xddddd

Merfhew

@Rando -- I don't think you understand why the majority of upset people are upset.

Felipe Aravena

tbf most ppl that watch reaction channels watch "the same content again and again and again". it's like the whole point of watching reaction channels: watching smt you've already watched. so i dunno what are you complaining about.

Merfhew

The issue is that they're offering us more of the same thing when other shows exist. Considering how many Normies there are, they could offer reactions to the same shows 2, 3, or even 4 times (depending on how many folks join per reaction series). Prior to the poll, I don't recall seeing any comments requesting FMAB or HxH when the Normies asked us for show requests. Why is that? Because most people wouldn't ask for the same thing twice. There's nothing wrong with people wanting to vote for shows they like - FMAB and HxH are both great shows - but why ask the audience for show requests if the Normies planned to include repeat choices that would, without a doubt, defeat the shows we asked for? Now that we know the Normies are open to watching the same shows with different members (beyond Attack on Titan, which most of us thought would be a 1-time thing), I'll be curious to see how often it happens. Between FMAB, AOT, and HxH (which could win in a future poll), it feels like they want to revisit the popular + lucrative franchises and milk them a second time instead of trying new shows that some of us have requested for years. While there's nothing inherently wrong with doing this (if the audience wants to see duplicate or triplicate show reactions), the audience does lose out on variety as a result.

yesss! i'm looking forward for Spidey and Rana's reaction! ps: maybe if you want to change things a bit for ppl complaining you could watch in subs? it would be cool. just saying :c

Multiple different channels reacting to a show vs. one channel reacting multiple times to the same show is not the same lol. Now FMA won, okay good for you and the others who voted for it, but I'm allowed to express my disapointment.

In a comparison of the two versions they're going to watch, Dub is way better. English is also a Germanic based language. It fits better with the character and setting than it does with the Sub which is Japanese based in its dialect choices. Sure they could watch it in German sub but that's not being discussed nor an option they're choosing from. It's the same issue with Monster and the Cyberpunk anime. The English Dub just works better because the English dialect is more natural to handle European words like "Elrich" than the Japanese language. The R's and L's in particular with English and other languages in European based words sound different in Japanese than it does in Germanic and Latin based languages.

Enjoying it more is not a dumb reason. In fact it’s the best reason I can think of. 🤷

Felipe Aravena

i know it's not the same, but that's not what you said. it's a whole different crew of reactors, so it's almost as if a completely different channel reacts to it. i would agree with you if somehow Suraj, Marketa, Chris and Navi react to it AGAIN because they forgot about stuff or wanna watch it in subs now or smt, but that's not what's happening. they're also not using a slot that's been replaced, it's a new slot afaik. and you can express your disapointment all you want, i just don't get why are you disappointed. i mean i understand the disappointment about not watching the shows you wanted, but not the part of "watching the same stuff again and again", like what did you expect? is a reaction channel, of course they will try to react to shows everybody has already reacted to and that are popular. is not as if they do this all the time, The Normies have done this ONE time before iirc, with AoT, and it was also a super popular show (a show i personally don't care about reactions, but sometimes you "win" and sometimes you "lose", i don't get the salt here with FMA).

Felipe Aravena

tl;dr: basically what i'm saying is that "ppl would rather watch the same content again and again and again" YES that's why they voted for it. that's what they want. that's the whole point of a reaction channel. WHY does it baffles you? lol

Felipe Aravena

japanese is similar to chinese so let them watch it in the original japanese then because Xing is clearly based on China smh do you watch Avatar:TLA in japanese just because is clearly inspired in anime and asian cultures and almost all the names are asian? i would bet that you don't. i've met literally no one in real life that have difficulty hearing "european sounding names" in the japanese language. this is a complaint i see coming only from ppl from the US xd also, good try, but you're being extremely disingenuous, i don't recall you arguing about subs and if "it fits better" when they watched Spirited Away in dub or when they watched Mulan, a movie about a chinese legend, in the original english just because chinese "fits better", and a dozen examples of things they've watched that i could bring up. so nah, you would still complain if they watch it in German, Arabic or Chinese. and i'm fine with ppl preferring dub just because of, well, preference, but to come up with the most dumb opinions and the most strange linguistics justifications about why some shows "should only be watched in dub" - especially if they're going to watch it in the original lang - is just annoying.

Arctic_stark

Yeah Im surprised so many of the major reactors haven't gotten to this show yet, its spectacular so far.

Arctic_stark

Dubs is good, I dont think the people complaining will be placated by subs or dubs.

Mohamed

I am so excited. I rewatch the old FMAB reaction ALL the time, I'll be so happy to have new Normie reactions to it.

Chaos T

What you find important or annoying is meaningless to anyone other than yourself. You labeled me as "disingenuous" over things I didn't watch like Mulan or Spirited Away. I couldn't give a crap about Mulan and never will because it's standard Disney slop. Spirited Away is on my long list of things I've yet to watch. The reasoning you're using is extremely stupid and the "huh... you like apples..... WELL WHAT ABOUT PINAPPLES" level of argument is a child's level of reasoning; not a cogent level of reasoning used by people who really want to discuss things. Whataboutism is currently the lowest form of argument one can make to justify a point. You reasoned yourself into an unreasonable position. The United States of America is the largest primary English speaking country in the world at 300 million people; hence you hear the issue being brought up mostly from Amuricans. As you pointed out, other countries have their own dub which are generally good (German and Spanish dubs are amazing at times) so shock/horror many outside of the English speaking sphere watch their own language dub of the anime. The two choices here are English Dub and Japanese Sub. The Normies aren't picking from multiple dubs from languages they're not familiar with. Their primary audience is from The United States of America and they communicate 99.9% of the time in the English language thus the English dub is what they choose as the dub. It's not rocket science. Anyway... thank you for your contribution. This was a cute conversation. Good for you for presenting such a cute and non-important outrage to the Patreon discussion. You get a gold star for effort I guess. BTW I've been consistent here since 2018ish. I don't like reactors watching subs and will skip a reaction if they're watching in subs. For many reasons sub reactions with groups of two or more people suck. You will never see me making an argument for anything on this channel or any other reaction other than dubed anime. Subs for group reactors are awful, disjointed reactions.

Chaos T

Also, the "Japanese" language is not similar to the "Chinese" language. Both societies developed their own writing and language system independently of one another. It's very easy to tell if someone is using "Chinese" versus "Japanese" because they're different, distinct languages.

Felipe Aravena

lol seriously what are you on about? the same "what you find important or annoying is meaningless to anyone other than yourself" and "thank you for your contribution" could apply to everything you've commented on this entire thread. why are you acting all macho here when you're clearly hurt? you've been fighting ppl here other than me because "uhhhmmm i like duuuubs pls dubs are great don't mock dubs plsssss i dont like jojo pls don't be mean to me jojo fans" get out of here with your false superiority complex and hurt ego xd sure, i care that you "don't care", congrats on being 8 i guess? (and you have the gall to say i have a child's level reasoning lmao srsly, the audacity) not all americans are these annoying snowflakes that can't watch and read at the same time like is not a simple thing to do because they're just too used to consume everything in english perfectly made especially for them to not choke with foreign languages. there are plenty of reactors that watch subs and don't have "awful, disjointed" reactions, and many of them are americans. but yeah, a lot of US ppl that can't deal with that and can't grow out of dubs still complain. i know Chinese is not similar to Japanese (at least not orally, the writing system literally comes from China if you didn't know, kanji means "chinese characters", so is not "independent" lol), i was mocking you, trying to come up with a justification that i pulled out from my ass, like you did. that's why i typed "smh". sorry it wasn't clear. but sure, dude, go off all you want.

Mr. Big Stuff

Honestly the results suck but I'll just finish samurai champloo and maybe a couple others on polls coming up

Chaos T

I only have trouble with insufferable anime fans who whine about others opinions on things like sub vs dub (aka you). You could have just ignored me in the first place but nope. You had to ramble on about nonsense like the typical insufferable hardcore anime fan who thinks they're childhood likes and personal biases are going to change another person's mind on subjective things like art. Always disliked your ilk. "i swear dub lovers find the most annoying and dumb reasons to justify the dub xddddd " If your initial response to my post is bitch-like one should appropriately treat you like a whiney bitch. You don't deserve to be treated as anything other than a child given your initial response. If you had a cogent thought within your body you could have addressed and debated what I originally stated without insult and succinctly laid out your different opinion. Anyways, thank you for your inane contribution. Take care.

Rando calrissian

@merfhew I know exactly why people are complaining its just stupid imo its a whole new reaction it would be the same as if a new channel is reacting to it because at the end of the day its completely new people experiencing the show

Darth Sckolar

Excited for Pat and Spidey on this

Brace110

I don't watch anything Suraj isn't also watching

Morgan Le Fay

But clearly many people do care about the new crew reaction….otherwise it wouldn’t have won. I voted for this, JJBA and YuYu. All quality shows. This still involves a different set of people watching it, I don’t see why people are mad. It won fair and square.

Ginzo

It's never going to win a poll if anime is included.

Ginzo

Reacting to an old show taking up the slot of a potential new show for easy nostalgia views? Check. Mid reaction ad placement? Check. Semi-spoilerish reaction titles? Check. Clickbait Dub vs Sub videos? Check. I guess we're really lowering the bar over here.

Anime Tone

So what are you gonna say when they start putting more shows they already reacted to on here, imagine if they decided to redo something like Naruto again.
